It is a well known fact that the calculated life expectancy of a rolling bearing presupposes that its comparatively thin rings will be fitted in housing that are as true as modern machine shop techniques can make. It follows that defective bearing seat in the housing and incorrect housing fit can cause bearing failure. LKF Bearing Housing offer you protection against these failures and many more. The bearing seating of the housing is machined to tolerances so that a perfect fit of the bearing outer ring is ensured and in most cases the seating width is such that the bearing has axial freedom. Thus dimensional inaccuracy, slight positioning error in mounting and thermal elongation of the shaft can be accommodated in the housing itself. Axial location of the bearing is achieved by employing locating rings. Apart from these advantages, LKF also covers a wide range of bearing housings providing a high degree of flexibility as regards selection of bearings and methods of mounting them. A choice of seals and methods of lubrication makes these suitable for diverse fields of application.

Standard Designs
The following types are available. The material specification of these confirm to IS Standard Nos. 210 and 1030.

1. SN 500 Series: The entire range is now available from our standard production. These housing are made of cast iron. However, housing in other material like cast steel or with special features like triple seals, etc. are available. Apart from these bearing housings, SN 606, SN 611, SN 615, SN 616 and SN 617 are also available. Other SN housings can be made on special request.

2. SD 31 TS Series : The entire range is available from the standard production. These housings are made of cast iron. Most standard housings can also be supplied as complete units including LKF bearings and LKF adapter sleeves.

3. SOFN and SAF Series : The housing which use spherical roller bearings are normally tailor made to suit customers' requirement. An indicative range is illustrated. Dimensional details can be provided on request. These housings are normally made of grey cast iron. However, they can also be supplied in other cast iron grades or cast steel. Apart from these bearing housings, we can also supply special bearing housing to suit customer's needs, like housings for paper machinery etc.
